I thought you'd be calm and collected after the weekend!

OK well if I have to be grouchy ....

the envy as you watch performers "warming up" and they're still better than you at full flowthe need to travel 200 miles to get in a "decent" dancethe politics of the cabaceopeople cutting past you at the corners of the dance floorknowing there is no "perfect place" for dancing (it all depends who shows up)respecting your elders dreaming of the perfect dance

No you have missed my point. I wasnt actually grumbling ( for a change) I was making the point that all this is part of tango but we can get caught up in the search for the ephemeral perfect tango but your additions to the list are most welcome.

In order to keep peaceful relations with the Great Deity i have agreed to remove the anglo-saxon title from this thread.

thanks BTM - I would love to be more 'live and let live' but the old one was just too obvious and 'up front' for a topic title.

maybe we have a invented a new acronym: "lall you!"
